    Just need Lowry to wake up for one quarter.
  3. Especially in this era with specialized bullpens and teams having do many shutdown relievers. No team should need their SP to pitch into the 8th anymore, because every team should have a reliever for that inning who would project to pitch better in that inning, every time.

    Playoff T Ross didn't take long to show up. Good lord.
  5. Yeah. Sinkers early for strikes, four seamers with 2 strikes for punchies. He was the best he's ever been in 2014, when he was a four seam guy (2.84 FIP!). So there's that.
  6. Dang. You'll have to go to the public library to wank now
  7. The elbow thing is terrible since he's busted it before. Screw came loose and the thing lost structural viability, which is why it snapped so easy this time. I'm not sure how many times you can screw into someone's elbow and have them still remain a high level athlete. Would buy though. Great opportunity for one of the rebuilders.
  8. Honestly, no. Not with Vazquez the elite defender back. Their best MLB roster would have Vazquez (best defender) and Swihart (best hitter). Makes sense for them to keep him around for a bit though, just in case Vazquez' elbow doesn't hold up. Golf claps on the despair trade tactics btw. It's a classic move.
  9. I don't think he's in any risk of losing C eligibility. He's not an Evan Gattis type of defender, or hitter for that matter. They probably just want him to gain flexibility for potential 2016 purposes since carrying 3 dudes that can only catch is a bad idea.
  10. If a player gains or qualifies in one year, then they have it next year.
  11. I dunno. I imagine they'll trade him for a reliever or something like that.
  12. Anthony Rendon has zero HR and zero RBI in 80 games last year he only had 5 HR and 25 RBI 20 grade produkshun. Talk about a fall from fantasy grace. Ryan Zimmerman also has zero HR and 1 RBI. Those are the two guys sandwiching Harper. Protection debunked.
  13. Must be a mistake on Raul Mondesi Jr's baseball ref page. 1.150 OPS, already 3 HR and 5 SB, while being the youngest player in the Texas League? I'd probably consider trading him and Swihart for Pollock, min.
  14. It's probably a coinflip, mostly based on health.
  15. Yeah I figured that there wouldn't really be any profit. If it covers server costs though, that's good.
  16. It's not a question of IF he could make money on ad clicks, it's a question of how much. $50/mo? $100? more? Just curious
  17. King should do it for the summer and then put social media intern on his resume. Schools will love it!
  18. This is a good point. Foolhardy. I'm sure if they'd just started Panda and stayed quiet for a month or so, they would have been able to pawn of like ~80% of his salary on the Padres. s***, they probably could have gotten some sort of demented "bad contract swap" for James Shields if they wanted.
  19. Yikes. Good thing I forgot Christian Vazquez existed and called Swihart up literally two days ago. Why would they even entertain the idea of demoting him or having him switch positions? Just pretend that he's a stud and trade him if you think CV is better.
  20. Yeah he hit like 5 home runs in half a season and had a sub .800 OPS. Also the leg injuries seemed chronic. That was the point that I bought him in the DDL.
  21. Important to realize with Harris that as a 29th overall pick, there shouldn't be some long assumption that he's good. He doesn't "deserve" two years of rope. He's *basically* a 2nd rounder. Guys taken in his range of the draft fail to make the big leagues at like a 96% clip (I don't actually know the % but I imagine it's close to that). SO! - It's not irresponsible to assume that he's a bust already - You shouldn't be upset if he is a bust, because he wasn't taken that high... this isn't Deck McGuire at 11th overall Sure, they should have picked Cody Ponce or Austin Riley or whoever... but it's the MLB draft.
  22. Or even just give Smoak or Montero a month of PA's to see if they can figure something out.
  23. mmmm, breaking up RHB isn't as important as breaking up LHB. I don't think it matters. Absolutely should have Saunders leading off right now though since he seems to be hitting well.
  24. Yes. If I was a manager, none of my pitchers would be facing Donaldson (and everyone after him) more than twice (unless I have Kershaw). Those guys are just so insanely good. See a guy for a third time and it's like BP.
  25. TTOP is so evident right now with Eovaldi. He needs to be out of the game if you're the Yankees. Mistake!
